It also highlighted public health initiatives well-suited to the needs of small countries.Discussions covered multiple topics, including social participation, technological innovation and custom and preventive care.The Ministry of Health and Social Affairs presented Handipact, the national policy launched in 2023 to improve the global well-being of people with disabilities and their inclusion in all areas of society.

INDEMER celebrates its 40th anniversary

INDEMER celebrates its 40th anniversary

L’INDEMER fête ses 40 ans © Manuel Vitali - Direction de la Communication To mark its 40th anniversary, the Institute of Economic Law of the Sea (INDEMER) has organised an international symposium on 'the current challenges surrounding ocean use' on 8 and 9 May at the Meridien Beach Plaza Hotel in Monaco.Placed under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, this event gathered high-level experts to discuss major issues relating to law, economics and scientific knowledge of maritime areas.Ms Isabelle Berro-Amadeï, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, currently acting as Minister of State, delivered a welcome speech in which she emphasised that "this symposium honours the Prince Rainier III's commitment and determination, which led to the establishment of INDEMER forty years ago to help spread legal, economic and scientific knowledge related to the sea."H.S.H. Prince Albert II opened the proceedings by pointing out that "INDEMER was founded in 1985 by my father, Prince Rainier III, following the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982 [...]. Today's celebration is not just a fortunate coincidence: we come together to acknowledge the achievements made by all those who led, supported or have been part of INDEMER over the past four decades."Over the past forty years, ocean use has become much more diverse. While shipping and fishing remain pillars of the maritime economy, scientific and technological advances have led to the emergence of new activities, such as deep-sea mining and the development of marine renewable energy. In this context, the law of the sea must evolve to meet current challenges, governance, sustainability, and preserving ecosystems.This symposium highlighted the growing connections between law, science, and economics in managing maritime areas. It also provided a forum for reflection on adapting the international legal framework to cover the increasing uses and new stakeholders.

Quick access

The Ambassador

A Monégasque who was educated in London at the French Lycée, H.E. Mrs. Evelyne Genta has lived in the UK for the past 15 years.

In 2011, she became Ambassador of the Principality of Monaco to the Court of St. James’s to the United Kingdom which promotes all facets of the Principality: economy and finance, culture, humanitarian and environmental projects. Central to her core ambitions is to change any misconceptions people may have about the Principality:
‘Many think Monaco is a place where rich old people go to hide their money’, says H.E. Mrs. Evelyne Genta. ‘That's not true, but that old image has stuck like glue and we have to change it . Monaco is a wonderful place to live but is also a transparent regulated country.'

The Embassy

As a continuously innovative, culturally rich and developing country, Monaco wishes to engage with international community more freely and showcase its great heritage, diversity and wide-ranging expertise to the world.

Through communicating and acting abroad, Monaco can present all its facets, expanding relationships and quantifying its future in the process.

The United Kingdom and Monaco

The Principality has long held a unique bond with the UK. We are very close geographically and almost 15% of those living and working in Monaco are British. It is important to allow that special relationship to thrive by building bridges between the London and Monegasque communities. In return we have seen record numbers of new people, including young families, registering an interest in moving to the Principality and bringing their business with them.

In 2008, our Chamber for Economic Development signed a co-operation agreement with the London Chamber of Commerce.
